Precognition: Interpreting Dreams that Go Outside the Box
by guest author Sandra Bell Kirchman
When I was little, my mom, dad, and I lived at Wood Buffalo Park, a Canadian national game preserve in the Northwest Territories. The night before we were to take the carryall sled, pulled by our team of huskies 52 miles from my dad’s park ranger station/house to Fort Smith, my mom had a dream. In her dream, which she said was as real to her as if she were watching a movie, when we got to the Salt Flats about 25 miles from Fort Smith, by some fluke of nature the plains were bare of snow.
My dad had a lot of faith in Mom’s dreams and dream interpretation, because she had been right before and she believed in them. Even though this dream involved cooperation with his fellow park rangers and the strong possibility of getting laughed at, Dad phoned and arranged for someone with a truck to meet us at the near side (of us) on the Salt Flats.
He teased Mom all the way to there about her quirky dreams and how he was going to tell the fellows that it was all her fault. When we got to the Salt Flats, though, he stopped teasing. They were bone dry, without a flake of snow, and there, waiting for us, was the promised truck. The guys in the truck weren’t laughing either.
From Dreams to The Generous Nature of Spirit
My mom’s dream interpretation and dreaming abilities filled me with admiration, which prompted me as an adult to take some courses in unfolding my own psychic nature. These psychic development courses focused on the fact that everyone is psychic and all you need to do is practice working with your abilities until they become second nature to you. Then you can use them as tools in your everyday life.
I had been traveling for quite a while across Canada and the U.S., presenting some of the psychic development courses I had learned and, in the course of my travels, came to Ottawa to present just such another program. A friend of mine, also in the same organization, drove with me downtown for lunch before a TV interview of me about the upcoming lecture and series of courses.
I had been in Ottawa before, and downtown was no place to be at lunchtime if you could help it. Parking was impossible, even paid parking, never mind on-the-street parking. This issue made me uncomfortable, since we couldn’t take too long for lunch because of the fixed time for the interview. To sidestep the problem, I concentrated briefly on the area where we were eating lunch and visualized a lovely parking spot just waiting there for us. I did it with a lot of feeling, so I was not surprised to find a spot a few doors down from the restaurant. What did astonish me was the fact that there was another parking spot right behind it. Unheard of! I quickly took the one spot, then turned to my friend. Amazement was scribbled all over her face.
We sat in awed silence for a couple of seconds before it dawned on us what had happened. A long-time Ottawa resident, my friend was fully aware of the noon parking crunch in the downtown area. Therefore, she had done the same as me to avoid the issue. Generously, Spirit obliged each of us, even though we only needed one spot. That was sweet really; otherwise, we both might have thought that we had failed and it was the other one who had secured the spot.
Lunch was a success, and so was the TV interview.

Sandra and Angela –
Thanks for such a re-affirming post. Sandra, although I know that such things happen, when they do, I am always amazed at the magic that surrounds us. I have experienced- not precognition – but a knowing when something is wrong with friends or family. I have always been intrigued by psychic ability and do believe that each of us had the power to develop our own. It was heartwarming to read how your father believed and supported your Mom’s ability. Ange- thanks for hosting Sandra- xooo
Dear Fran,
I’m so glad you enjoyed Sandra’s post and her mother’s amazing dream.
It is quite exciting to think that just by going to sleep and dreaming we can access the source of intelligence that knows “all” including what lies in our future.
You are very intuitive Fran…..if you started keeping a dream journal you might discover that you too have procognitive abilities.
Hi Angela and Sandra,
I’ve had some very vivid dreams just recently, even one that woke me up in the middle of the night with a start the other night. I’ve found understanding dreams to be very interesting and meaningful and really enjoyed reading your post. I have not had dreams that forecasted an event, but find the idea very intriguing.
Hi Cathy,
Why not start a dream journal? This way you can look back later to see if anything you dreamed about did happen?
So often we forget the “little” things we dream of.
It’s not every day that major events befall us so perhaps you are dreaming on occasion of small things that do happen but just forgetting?
I have very vivid dreams sometimes that seem full of symbolism to me. However, I have never had a dream with a specific image that “came true.” I have been keeping a dream journal lately just to see if I can find a deeper way to understand my dreams.
Hi Galen,
Perhaps you need to analyze the symbolism of the dream?
Keeping a dream journal is a great way to understand your dreams.
True precognitive dreams are very rare. I have them on occasion but it is not the norm.
Hi Sandra
I really enjoyed reading the article. I wanted to share this story. Only yesterday I was in Town shopping and had to be back home in order to help my sister pack as she was going abroad the next day. I had just missed the first train I wanted to get and decided I would naturally get the next one. I was shopping for a birthday gift for my sister and was finding it difficult to decided on a present. I found a pair of earrings in a shop and as I went to purchase them the cashier told me they had a 3 for 2 offer so I decided to look at other jewelley, even though I knew I had to get the next train home VERY soon. After looking and deciding against other purchases I waited behind another customer in the queue worrying that I would now miss this train home. I was about to text my sister saying I would be late after missing the train and then deleted it before sending it and instead wrote “I’ll get ths train” and sent it to myself, hoping that somehow, through manifestation it would happen. Now, I literally had about 3 minutes to get to the station, find the platform and get onto the train! I rushed to the station and really was unsure I would make it, but miraculously I did and the train itself left a minute late, without a seemingly good reason.
That was the first time I text messaged myself something I wanted to happen and I am still amazed by the outcome.
Dear Julie,
I’m so glad you enjoyed Sandra’s article.
Your story is very convincing attestation to the power of “creating your reality” with your beliefs!
It also shows how synchronicity works as well.
You wanted to get that train and miraculously it left the station a minute late.
Keep messaging yourself it seems to work for you!
All my best and thanks so much for commenting.
Angela
